Engadget covered the expected costs of owning an iPhone, and it ain’t cheap. The good news is that other than the price of the phone itself, the costs of the plan are not much different than for a comparable smart phone, and by their calculations, users on a family plan would even save money — over the course of two or three years, that is.
I was contemplating buying one, but I’m now thinking that I’ll wait; six months, maybe a year. This is not due to the costs, which are to be expected, but to wait long enough to let them improve it a little, to let the price drop a little, and to hear some real world reviews of how good (or not?) it really is.
